Samson - Look To The Future / Refugee / PS...

A 3CD Box Set of Samson material. This collection features 1989's previously unreleased LOOK TO THE FUTURE, 1990's REFUGEE and the 2006 final album P.S.., recorded during Paul Samson's final months and released posthumously in 2006..Paul Samson passed away on 9th August 2002 and the task of completing the album was given to his close friend and bandmate John McCoy. The origins of the songs ranged from rehearsals with Thunderstick and Chris Aylmer in 1990, writing sessions with Ian Ellis in the mid 90's, the Samson reformation rehearsals with Nicky Moore, Chris Aylmer and Thunderstick in 1999-2000 and the most poignant Shooting For The Moon with Nicky Moore whilst recording the album. The original plan had been for the new Samson album to be titled Brand New Day, but due to Paul's death and the fact that the line-up on the recordings had not toured as Samson , it was decided as a tribute to Paul it should be released as a Paul Samson album, and John McCoy's suggestion of P.S.. as the title was most fitting.
